Re: Flea Medication Suggestions
Our cat had very persistent fleas a few years ago. Our vet suggested Capstar followed by Vectra.
Capstar is a tablet that kills all fleas on the animal within about half an hour. (We gave it to our cat and then shut her in a tiled bathroom for that period ... made the cleanup easy. I was disgusted by how many dead fleas we found on the floor. This stuff really works.) Vectra is a topical that will kill eggs and repel live fleas.
We also used DE on the furniture but I'm not sure how much it helped. We flea combed quite a bit too. But the Capstar/Vectra combo was finally the thing that got rid of them for good.
